History of National Plum Pudding Day
The history, origin, and year of National Plum Pudding Day’s celebration are anonymous. The person or the organization who has come up with this celebration is also unknown. However, plum pudding has existed since the 17th century and later. Plum pudding, aka Christmas pudding, is usually a steamed or boiled pudding served during the holiday season. Surprisingly, the plum pudding contains no plums like its name. The reason for this is that plums were referred to as raisins or other fruits in the 17th century.
Plum pudding is prepared using nutmeg, raisins, nuts, apples, dates, cinnamon, and other ingredients. One of the earliest plum pudding recipes was recorded in the 1714 book by Mary Kettilby. In England, it is a common tradition to have every person in a household simultaneously hold onto the wooden spoon together as a way to help stir the batter. It is mandatory to make a wish while stirring the batter.
